Mi amor es un amor de abajo
My love is a love from below
Que el devenir me trajo
That fate brought me
Para hacerlo empinar
To raise it up high
Mi amor, el más enamorado
My love, the most in love
Es del más olvidado
Is from the most forgotten
En su antiguo dolor
In its ancient pain
Mi amor abre pecho a la muerte
My love opens its chest to death
Y despeña su suerte
And plunges its luck
Por un tiempo mejor
For a better time
Mi amor, este amor aguerrido
My love, this fierce love
Es un sol encendido
Is a blazing sun
Por quien merece amor
For the one who deserves love
